WISH is a community where women embrace each other's nerdiness and excitement about science. Stay up late watching your favorite movies and studying with friends in the exclusive WISH lounge, share your passion for science while volunteering at a Girl Scout event, or challenge yourself by making new connections with female mentors in your field! WISH residents are serious students, but with events like floor decorating contests and semi-formal dances they sure know how to have fun.
